Yeah, not the cleverest of puns but it sums up at least one of my feelings about closing out the old year and ushering in the new ( Read more... )

I must admit I don't get much time anymore to update my journal entries, but this time I thought I'd take a few minutes to give it a whirl. My life is pretty dull by most standards so don't expect any explosive revelations ( Read more... )

Me. I was trotting down the street on the way to the bus stop and I tripped over my own feet, landing smack on my knees on the sidewalk. I turned around, went back home and cleaned up my scraped knees, not at all upset because, you know, I do this all the time. The pain faded pretty quickly, but now my right palm is swelling up (three point landing ( Read more... )

Well, I guess the honeymoon is over -- Alberta's unseasonably mild weather has changed overnight to Old Man Winter. There is a non-stop blizzard going on (since Thursday night) and it is COLD! I've avoided going outside so far but it looks like I'll have to brave the snow flurries this afternoon as I dig myself out of the front door to the sidewalk ( Read more... )

Oh boy, I can't tell you how much fun I had at Creation's Firefly/Serenity Salute. Met some great Browncoats (gee, Canada is so well represented it's scary) and the wonderful actors who attended were -- well, wonderful. Got to tell Alan Tudyk how excited I was to see him in Edmonton, summer of 2008 at the Fringe. He enjoyed his attempt at improv ( Read more... )
